WHO I AM

I have been a Head of Department for English in both mainstream and SEN schools, leading successful teams and supporting colleagues to grow and develop. Mentoring trainee and newly qualified teachers has always been one of my strengths, and I think I was coaching long before I knew what coaching was, with both students and colleagues. Being a part of brilliant pastoral and mentoring teams has been equally enriching. My teaching experience includes almost 15 years in UK mainstream state secondary schools, 5 years in secondary SEN schools, as well as spells overseas in Nepal, Russia and the Czech Republic.
